Tired of solving every problem for your team?

If you are tired of solving every problem for your team, then you are going to love today's edition of the Biz Doctor Newsletter all about the Rule of Three because this simple shift will set you free!

If you want your business to grow and your team to flourish without you being the bottleneck, there are two things your team needs:  

1. The confidence to think critically
2. The autonomy to solve problems without running to you  

When your team starts making better decisions on their own, it frees up your time and energy to focus on leading and running the business — not micromanaging.  

So, how do you make this shift? It starts with empowering your team with the Rule of Three. Here's how it works:  

Before coming to you with a question, (which might sound harsh but stick with me...) your team must first check off these three things:  

1. Google it (or ChatGPT it—this is 2024, after all)
2. Ask a colleague—9 times out of 10, someone has already solved the same problem
3. Check the knowledge base or internal resources—these aren’t just busy work; they’re tools to help keep things moving  

Here’s why this works:  

It forces your team to slow down, think critically, and problem-solve on their own—rather than defaulting to you. As you know, if they constantly rely on you for answers, you're not creating leaders, you're enabling them and creating dependence.  

When you implement the Rule of Three, you're helping your team to:  

• Become leaders (which is your #1 job as a leader...)
• Encourage independent thinking
• Build a culture of ownership

Implementing the Rule of Three transforms your team from dependent followers into proactive, critically-thinking leaders.
